Manitoba Legislative Building, Provincial parliament building in Winnipeg, Canada

The Manitoba Legislative Building features three floors of Tyndall limestone construction with a copper-domed cupola and Corinthian columns around its perimeter.

Construction of the building started in 1913 and concluded in 1920, with delays caused by World War I and the Winnipeg General Strike.

The circular legislative chamber represents the only one of its kind in Canada, incorporating horseshoe-shaped benches and designated areas for media coverage.

The building contains more than 350 rooms across multiple levels, serving as the primary location for Manitoba's government operations and legislative proceedings.

The Golden Boy statue stands at the top of the central tower, measuring 5.25 meters tall and covered in 23.5 karat gold from head to toe.
